I would not suggest it. As alcohol has little positive effect on your body in the fist place, Alcohol with medications treating UC could be a bad combination. Also, there has been research that states that alcohol would irritate your colon and cause flare ups, or relapses. Some are able to drink alcohol who have UC, but they have to take precautionary steps such as drinking two glasses of water before each drink as well as keep specific track of what they eat in order not to disturb their colon. In general, I would stay away from alcohol in this situation, it's the safest way to play the game and is a preventive way to stay healthy with UC.

yes it can affect your liver
alcohol effects your immune system and your liver.
Cannabis has absolutely no negative effect on the liver, so the answer would be: definitely alcohol.
Of course! Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, and will affect liver function tests.
Abusive alcohol drinking constantly over a period of many years or decades can cause liver problems.
If you drink alcohol before a liver panel test, the results may be affected due to the way the liver functions. It is responsible for filtering the alcohol out of the blood.
They actually kind of do. It says its harmful for health, but they do not specify the risks. If they did, the whole can/bottle would be full!Liver disease, depression, because alcohol does causes you to act... emotional. Raised blood pressure, high risk of stroke, stomach disorders,cancers, particularly of the mouth, throat and gullet; hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver; malnutrition; accidents, at home, at work and on the roads; suicide are the most common problems alcohol drinking brings.
alcohol is related to liver disease and clinically proven. The amounts depends on each independent persons constitution.
Your blood pressure shoots up
Drinking large amounts of alcohol over a long period of years can scar the liver. However, drinking alcohol in moderation is associated with better health and greater longevity than abstaining from alcohol.
Unless a person is already suffering from reduced liver function or active liver disease, the short-term effect of alcohol on the liver is negligible for health purposes. The exception to this would be alcohol taken in conjunction with heavy doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) which can result in acute, rapid liver damage.
Alcohol affects the functioning of your organs most particularly your liver. Liver constantly works to purify your blood by removing toxins. Alcohol produces lots of toxins. Liver overworks and one day it says sorry my dear you can't depend on me.
